Wheat and the World.

Could imperial Rome have only
grown sufficient wheat in Italy to have
fed her legions Caesar would still be
master of three-fourths of the earth.
Rome thought more in her latter days
of grapes and oysters, and mullets,
that change color as they die, and
singing girls and flute playing, and
cynic verse of Horace, anything rather
than corn. Rome is no more, and the
lords of the world are they who have
mastership of wheat. We have the
mastership at this hour by dint of our
gold and our 100-ton guns, but they
are telling our farmers to cast aside
their corn and grow tobacco, fruit and
any anything else that can be thought
of in preference. The gold is slipping
away. These sacks in the market,
open to all to thrust their hands in,
are not sacks of corn, but of golden
sovereigns, new George and the dra-
gon, old George and the dragon, Sid
ney mint sovereigns, napoleons, half
napoleons; Belgian gold, German gold,
Italian gold, gold scraped and
scratched and gathered together like
old rags from door to door. Sacks full
of gold, verify [ may say that all the
gold poured out from the Australian
fields, every pennyweight of it, hun
dreds of tons, all shipped over the sea
to India, Australia, South Africa,
Egypt, and, above all, America, to
buy wheat. 1t was said that Pompey
and his sons covered the great earth
with their bones, for each one died in
a different quarter of the world, but
now he would want two more sons for
Australia and America, the two new
quarters which are now at work, plow-
ing, sowing, reaping, without a months
intermission. growing corn for US.
When you buy bag of flour at the
bakers you pay five pence for it over
the counter, very simple transaction.
Still YOU do not expect to get even
that little bag of flour for nothing;
your five pence goes over the counter
into somebody else's till. Consider
now the broad ocean as the counter,
and yourself to represent 100000 of
English people buying sixteen, seven.

How to See The Mountains on The
Moon.

o. course, the first thing the observer
will wish to see will be the mountains
of the moon, for everybody has heard
of them, and the most sluggish imagin-
alton is stirred by the thought that one
can look off into the sky and behold
1.-the eternal hills" of another planetas
solid and substantial as our own But
the chances are that, if left to their
own guidance, ninety-nine persons out
of a hundred would choose exactly the
wrong time to see these mountains.
At any rate, that is my experience with
people who have come to look at the
moon through my telescope. Unless
warned beforehand, they invariably
wait until full moon, when the flood of
sunshine poured perpendicularly upon
the face of our satellite conceaiS its
rugged features as effectually as if a
veil had been drawn over them. Begin
your observations with the appearance
OF the narrowest crescent of the new
moon and follow it as it gradually fills,
and then you will see how beautifully
the advancing line of lunar sunrise
reveals the mountains, over whose
slopes and peaks it is climbing, by its
ragged and sinuous outline. The OBJ
server must keep in mind the fact that
he is looking straight down upon the
tops of the lunar mountains. 1t is like
a view from balloon, only at vast
ly greater height than any balloon has
ever attained. Even with a powerful
telescope the observer sees the moon
at an apparent distance of several hum
dred miles, while with field glass
magnifying six diameters, the moon
appears as if forty thousand miles off.
The apparent distance with Galileo's
telescope was eight thousand miles.
Recollect how when seen from a great
height the rugosities of the earth's sur
face fatten out and disappear, and
then try to imagine how the highest
on the earth would look if
you were suspended forty thousand
miles above them, and you will, per.
haps, rather wonder at the fact that
the moons mountains can be seen at
all" astronomy a0ith an opera Glass"

ence Monthly.

Use Good Soap.

On turning to the laundry we find
pure soap to be almost as essential as
IN the toilet. Strange as it NAV seem,
dangerous disorders have been intro
duced through linen freshly washed.
OWING to the attraction of the alkali
Tor the dirt contained in the fabric, a
portion OF tat is set free which clings
to the cloth and is ready to act upon
the skin. Such garments retain n
greasy feeling, even after a thorough
rlnsing. and that they do not always
get. 1t IS only q few years since, that
IN neighborlng city the only child of
millionaire, still an infant, was taken
very i'll. 1t had not been taken away
from the mansion and grounds, except
for brief rides, for over month, nor
had there been visitors in the nursery
to bring infection. Yet malignant
smallpox developed itself, to which
the child fell q victim, though no per-
son in the vicinity had any similar
disease. After thorough investiga-
ton the physicians concluded that in
lection had been carried through laun-
dried clothing which had been washed
out OF the hOuse,-not through the
washerwoman but through her soap.
To what dangers and discomforts are
we not subject in our warfare with
filth! The very agents employed in
its removal are often worse than the
original evil. The fat of sickly ami
mails, kept until often decay sets in, is
palmed off on the unsuSpecting house
keeper, with the result of endless dis
comfort or sorrow.
Given good soap in the laundry,
one of the abuses of it lies in waste. Is
not the usual practice of soaping the
clothing in spots and not making Il
lather into which the garments are to
be plunged, a mistake? Laundrymen
are wiser than we; large laundries use
chips or shavings of good soap which
they purchase by the barrel. 1t readi-
~ dissolves in hot water which is
cooled before the immersion of the
soiled clothing, for nothing more sure.
ly sets stains than hot suds. This is
certainly the only way in which han-
nels ought to be washed. 1t is an
abuse of soap to allow it to come in
contact with wooden.
1t is asserted. also, by competent
manufacturers, that the chief use of
boiling clothing is to eXpel the foul
soap remaining in them.-a fact which
speaks volumes against the ordinary
saponaceous compound that does duty
under the name of soap. The asser-
ton will be REINFORCED by the testi-
mony of the multitude of travellers who
have watched the 6IanchiSseases beside
the clear, flowing streams of France
and Switzerland. Destitute of tubs,
stationary or movable, bareheaded
and often barefooted; rubbing, rims
ing, wringing out of the cold brook or
river, they would scorn to seek aid
from anything but soap and strength.
And never were clothes whittier than
those brought from the clear waters
of the ''arrowy Rhine"
The proper use Q good soap, then,
will do away with much hard work in
the laundry, though the careful house
wife will see to it that in case of sick
ness no fever germs shall escape cha,
action of all-purifying heat.--HeSterl !

How Gold May Grow.

Mr.. Daintree found by experiment
that if speck OF gold were placed in a
solution of the chloride the gold would
gradually grow into small grain on
any piece of wood or cork introduced
metal contained in the chloride would
come out from its combination as ma
tive gold and unite with the tiny speck
of pure metal which served it as
nucleus. 1t is not improbable that the
gold in quartz got similarly deposited
round a common center, SO that in the
most literal sense it may perhaps be
true lin spite OF Aristotle's dogmatic
statement to the contrary that money
grows, though very slowly. 1t is a
pleasant thought, indeed, for the poor
man to know that gold is even now
still growing. Mr.. Brough Smyth has
shown that it can be deposited nova
days in appreciable quantities within
comparatively short periods.
Bits of mineralized timber and
beams from the galleries OF the older
workings in Australian mines have
been found 20 exhibit. under the mi
croscOpe, particles of gold, intermiXed

through the central parts of the wood.
and this gold must, of course, have
gathered there from solution in water
during the few years that have elapsed
since the first discovery of the precious
metal in Australia. Mr.. Uhrich SINH
larly notes that in the gold drifts
auriferous pyrites is often found in
crusting or replacing roots and twigs.
and samples of such gold-bearing
wood, when submitted to an assay, have
yielded amounts of the pure metal vary
ing from few pennyweights TO sew
eral ounces per ton. Mr.. II. A. Thorn
son further mentions a specimen OF
pyrites which had gathered in the CEN
ter of an old tree-trunk, and which
yielded at the rate of as much as thirty
ounces.-The Cor7biU Magazine.

with high prices OF GRAIN. the nrices

with high prices OF gram; the prices
of cereals being at present regulated,
not within any particular country, but
by the combined production and con-
sumption of All countries and mutually
accessible by railroads and steamships.
Hence it is that, since 1870, years of
locally bad crops in Europe have gen.
orally witnessed considerably lower
prices than years when the local crops
were good, and there was local sur
plus for export.
In short, one marked effect of the
present railroad and steamship system
of transportation has been to compel
q uniformity of prices for all commo-
dltles that are essential to life, and to
put an end forever to what, less than half
century ago, was a constant feature
OF commerce, namely, the existence of
local markets, with widely divergent
prices for such commodities. How
much of misery and starvation local
ly deficient harvest entailed under the
old system upon the poorer classes,
through the absence of opportunity of
supplying the deficiency through i'm
portations, is shown by the circum-
stance that in the English debates
upon the corn laws, about the year
1910, it was estimated, upon data fur
,nished by Mr.. Tooke, in his History of
Prices, that deficiency of one sixth
in the English harvest resulted in a
rise of at least 100 per cent in the
price of grain; and another estimate
by Davenant and King, for the close of
the seventeenth century, corroborates
this apparent excessive statement

The Summer Fishers.


Three fishers went sailing out in the lake,
Out into the lake as the sun went down;
Each thought OH the biggest lie he could
make
And the reporters stood watching them out
of the town:
For fishers Willie and reporters believe,
For twas ever their wont though they seldom
deceive
For we've all been fishing ourselves
Three editors sat in their offices high
And they made up their sheets as the moon
went down;
And each murmured, 'I'n glance at the usual
lie,"
And they picked up the "copy'' with dark
some frown;
"For papers must print the fishers tale
Though it calmy tells of hooking a whale
For we've all been fishing ourselves.
Three journalists lay on the office floor
In the gaslight CLEAN when the foreman
came round,
For each had read the tale from the shore
And each had sunk down in q deadly swound,
For the fishers had said and the scribes had
written
That all that eve not fish had bitten
And truth was stranger than fictionl

The Granger and His Purp.

The other day man got aboard OF
q train on the Detroit and Lansing
Road accompanied by his dog, and in
due course of time the baggagemau
walked back into the ear and said:
Mister, that dog must go into the
baggage car"
Il guess not"
But I guess he will. No dogs are
allowed 70 ride in passenger cars"
well, we'll wait and hear what the
conductor SAYS. He is Il friend Of
mine, and if he says the dog can't ride
here that will settle it.
1t was half an hour later before the
conductor, accompanied by the bag
gageman, got around to the man.
THAT dog must come out o mere"
announced the conductor.
esFor why? He isn't hurting any
body"
Because no dogs are allowed in The

man, after taking look from the
window, Il shall 60 with him. My dog

'.Will you take the dog forward?'
'.No, sir"
The train was stopped and the dog
led out and pushed off the platform.
Are you going, too?" queried the
conductor, with his hand on the bell

Yes, I guess l will. I live in that

Fried Bro akfast Vegetables.

Fried potatoes, hominy and mush
aside. the ordinary American break
fast is destitute of vegetables. In the
Southern and Middle states some
cooks have become acquainted with
the merits of fried and broiled to-
matoes as breakfast dish, and some
times eggplant is SO served. As q
matter of fact vegetable properly
fried is u great help toward an econ
omical breakfast, giving the zest called
for by q languid appetite when meat
seems too substantial. A very mar
row list will allow for the change OF
seasons, variety being secured by al
ternating the methods of frying: for
instance, one morning rolling the veg
etables in dry flour seasoned with salt
and pepper, and frying it in only
enough fat TO prevent burning; the
next time breading it and frying it
like doughnuts; another day frying it
in batter. Summer and winter squash,
pumpkin, sugar beets, eggplant, to-
matoes, eucumbers, parsnips, oyster
plant, green corn, green and ripe to-
matoes; and boiled vegetables remain
inc from dinner, minced and warmed
with little cream OF butter, or heated
in white sauce, make an agreeable
variety for breakfast, and dispose OF
portions not large enough to serve at
dinner the second time.-Jas5tet C0TSo9;,

But it is too Late
They were interrupted by a sudden
sound of hurrying footsteps
The door opened and Mark entered,
followed by stranger to Alice, but not
to Barbara!
She sprang forward with a wild cry,
and was caught to his breast.
''Oh, Elmer, forgive-forgive!
''My poor girl! 1t is | who should
plead to you for forgiveness. Can you

'tAnd I, too, my darling! Life has

Explanations followed.
Elmer Haughton was wealthy; and
in her wild anger at some fancied neg
lect of her handsome worshipped hus-
band, Barbara had thought to punish
him by leaving her elegant home, and
going away from him penniless.
AS she had told Alice, her temper
was fiery and unreasonable. It's con-
slant friction had worn upon Elmer
until his fervent love had apparently
merged into Indifference towards the
wife whose beauty and bright WAYS
had first attracted him.
But mutual absence had proved to
each how great was their love for one
another Owing to the influence of the
example which Alice had unconsci0usly
held before Barbara, all is now peace
and happiness with the reunited pair.

The World One Market.

One of the most momentous and
what may be called humanitarian re-
suits of the recent great extension and
cheapening of the worlds railway sys-
tenn and service is, that there is now
no longer any occasion for the peo-
pie of any country INDUCING in either
excessive hopes or fears as to the re-
suits of any particular harvest; mas
much as the failure of crops in any one
country is no longer, as it was, no
later than twenty years ago, identical
